The Best Snowplow for a truck? Fisher, Western, Boss, Hiniker, SnowDogg, Sno-Power & Shortiron

What happens here

The speaker demonstrates the SnowDogg V-plow's easy-to-use controller, allowing quick adjustments for lift, lower, scoop, retract, and blade angles. In contrast, the Western V-plow controller is presented as less intuitive, requiring specific button combinations for certain actions, which can be frustrating during operation.

Goal: Compare the user-friendliness of SnowDogg and Western plow controllers.

What they say

Hide

The sandy sandy snow with frozen uh frozen sand and chunks of ice that you're pushing around. But with it's it's a lot tougher and corrosion resistant than these guys. You can slap that on here, too, the same um sheets of stainless if you wanted to on these Westerns, can't you? Um that I don't know. You wouldn't quote me on it. Now, one of the things that we did is we actually upgraded Tim's cutting edge again. That's the heaviest duty one. So, if you guys are going to go with the Western, my bit of advice to you is try to buy it without their cutting edge and then use this cutting edge cuz there's night and day difference. This is called a Winter Equipment Cutting Edge. This is the same cutting edge that they use on the roads on the DOT the DOT uses. So, it's got 400% more carbide Wow. than um any other cutting edge out there. You're going to pay more for this blade, but this is a multi multi-season blade. So, if you don't like wrenching in the middle of January when your nose pickers are getting frozen, you go with something like this and you'll get through season after season on them. Here, I'll take the camera, Frankie. Let's look at how the similarities between a Western system going up and down. So, you can see that the Western uses the chain system in the hoist in the center and it's eerily similar to the Snow Dogg. And what I'm saying is if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Right? Right. Okay. So, I want you to take a look at that. That's the UltraMount 2. And here's the Snow Dogg system. Almost identical. In fact, you got the foot pegs on the side on the Snow Dogg. Same thing on the Western. So, there's a lot of similarities in the basic hoist system. Now, you've got a couple differences that I want to point out. On the Western, your wing your wing hydraulics are right here. So, you can see it right there.
